A court rules on whether Hamilton’s tent encampment sweeps violated constitutional rights by lacking shelter alternatives.
Arguments have concluded in a Charter challenge against Hamilton’s encampment enforcement, with an appellate panel deciding whether the city violated constitutional rights by clearing tents without adequate shelter alternatives.
The case centers on claims that nighttime evictions and blanket bans disproportionately affected women, Indigenous people, and those with disabilities, undermining rights to security and equality.
Applicants argue tents provide essential safety and companionship, while the city maintains compliance with law and denies late-night operations.
The appeal focuses on a two-year enforcement period starting in 2021, but seeks broader policy changes.
The outcome could influence homelessness policies across Canada, highlighting the need for coordinated government action and expanded shelter capacity amid rising demand.
